Mortality rate attributed to unintentional poisoning

Source: Office for National Statistics (ONS)

Geographical Area: England and Wales

Unit of Measurement: Rate per 100,000 population

Footnote: Rates calculated when there were fewer than 3 death registrations in a cell have been surpressed. Rates that are based on between 3 and 19 deaths are potentially unreliable, as the measure may be affected by the small number of events. These can be seen in the original source data.
